Total Time: 12 mins Preparation Time: 7 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2/3 cup evaporated milk
• 2 cups miniature marshmallows
• 2 cups chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup chopped almonds (optional)
• 1/3 cup raisins (optional)

Recipe

• 1 in a medium heavy saucepan (glass saucepans work best, but any kind will do) combine the sugar, salt, butter and evaporated milk over medium heat.
• 2 stir the mixture constantly until it comes to a boil.
• 3 continue constantly stirring and let the mixture boil for about 5 minutes.
• 4 remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the marshmallows, chocolate chips and vanilla. now is also the time to add any of the nuts and/or dried fruits you want.
• 5 stir the mixture vigorously for a minute or until the marshmallows have all melted and the fudge becomes a nice chocolate color.
• 6 quickly pour the fudge into a foil-lined bread loaf pan and place it into the refrigerator overnight or until it is firm and fully chilled. note : you can also pour the fudge into a foil-lined 8-inch square pan.
• 7 to slice, take the fudge out of the refrigerator and tip the pan upside-down to remove the foil. then, let the fudge slab stand for 15-30 minutes or until it softens slightly but is still cold. (you don't need to let the fudge soften if you use the 8-inch square pan, just slice it into 1 1/2 inch squares.) slice into 1 inch thick slabs, wrap with wax paper and share with family and friends!
